My Testimony

   

For a long time, I was terrified of God! I felt as if He was watching me everywhere I went! It scared me so much that I was afraid to look up at the skies, afraid that I would see God’s eyes looking down at me. It was unlike any other fear I ever had; I had nowhere to hide. No one knew what was happening to me because I kept it to myself. I was too scared to talk about it, and I felt foolish about it. Then, at the pivotal age of eighteen, I received Jesus as my Savior. It happened one Saturday morning while I was at a prayer breakfast. I felt the need to confess my sins and invite Jesus into my heart, and so, with much trembling and crying, I went to the altar. I stood there and cried like a terrified child. I was crying so much that a woman came and asked me why I was crying so much. “I am afraid of God,” I told her, and just kept on crying. She stayed with me and explained that I did not have to fear God anymore now that I have accepted Jesus as my Savior.

​

It was the best thing that ever happened to me and my horrific fear of God went away that very day. I was so happy, because I felt safe! That day, as I walked home, my feet felt as if they were not touching the ground. I was very eager to share what had happened to me, so I made a detour to my best friend’s house to tell her about Jesus and my conversion. I just sat there in her house, talking and praising God for His goodness, while she did her housework. Years later, my friend invited Jesus into her heart, and she told me that she never forgot the day I shared Jesus with her! Since then, over the years, I have served the Lord as an evangelist at home and abroad.

 

Understanding what God says in His Word is very important to me, because I want to know Him better as my Father, my Creator, and my God. Therefore, I spend hours in personal Bible study with my favorite Bible teacher, the Holy Spirit. I use various English translations of the Bible, but my favorite translation is the King James Version (KJV). Whenever the Holy Spirit opens my understanding, it gives me great joy to write and share my studies with others, especially on the Internet.
